Ok, so what I mean is, should I have extra ‘whitespace’ on either side of a sesign ([like this) or is it bettr to take up the whole page ([URL=“http://www.adsw.org/resource/websites/Architecture/Theaters/”]like this](http://john.jubjubs.net/)).

Ignoring the quality of the designs on those particular sites (I just randomly picked those out from a random google search), which approach do you like better? In your opinion, what are the advantages/disadvantages?

Thanks for reading,
